1.After the gear reducer has been removed, the internal components may be inspected and/or replaced. Remove all bolts holding the two case halves together.

2.Tap against the roll pins at each end of the gear cases to split them.

3.Pry the case halves apart.

4.Check the internal condition of the gear reducer. If rusty or water is present, replace the complete assembly. The oil should be black and the proper oil level is 1/8" from the top of the biggest gear (with all gears installed). Check the input seal.

The gears may be replaced individually.

Auger Drive Motor

The windings or top bearing & cover may be replaced without removing the evaporator or gear reducer from the machine.

1. Disconnect electrical power.

If the windings are to be replaced, remove the left side panel and control box cover.

1.Locate the auger drive motor wires plugged into a relay on the circuit board.

2.Disconnect the auger motor’s wires and pull them back to the auger drive motor.

3.Lift the auger motor windings off the gear reducer.

If the rotor needs to be removed:

1.Run a screw into the top of the rotor.

2.Grasp the screw with a grip pliers.

3.Pull and/or tap on the pliers to pull the rotor & bearing out of the gear reducer.

4.Inspect the bearing and input seal. Replace them if worn.

Note: When the rotor is re-installed, be certain that the bearing is fully seated in the gear case.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power before beginning.

2.Shut off water supply.

3.Remove top panel.

4.Remove right side panel.

5.Drain the reservoir and evaporator.

6.Disconnect the reservoir outlet tube from the bottom of the reservoir.

7.Remove screws holding reservoir mounting bracket to the cabinet.

8.Lift the reservoir up & away from the top of the auger drive motor.

9.Remove the 4 bolts holding the auger motor cover to the gear reducer case.

10.Lift the plastic switch housing off the auger drive motor.

11.Hold the centrifugal switch and remove the screw holding it to the rotor of the motor.

12.Lift the centrifugal switch up and off the motor.

13.Lift the motor cover up and off the motor.
